Had my bathroom done and needed to return some extra tiles. I spoke with Rupali about my experience returning items to the canning town branch and never receiving the refund. She made sure then and there that my refund would be processed and she was just so kind and sympathetic throughout. She also gave me some good advice. Won't bother next time going to the canning town wickes ever again

Extremely disappointing experience with…

Extremely disappointing experience with the bathroom design service, particularly with designer Benaiah Oti. He visited our property, checked measurements, confirmed everything was correct, and asked us to place the order. However, once the order was placed, communication completely stopped, calls and emails were ignored.

When the fitters arrived, they found that several items did not match the actual measurements. Cabinets had to be cut and modified just to fit, and even then the final result looks poor. We also received the wrong quantity of shower panels and even the wrong shower unit altogether.

To make matters worse, Benaiah asked me to personally bring heavy return items back to the store, only for another staff member to later confirm that a home collection could have been arranged the entire time. This caused unnecessary stress, wasted time, and physical effort.

The whole experience has been frustrating, unprofessional, and incredibly stressful during what should have been an exciting home project. Very disappointed with both the service and communication.

Decorating event

I attended a decorating event on Saturday 2nd May at the Barking store. I was made very welcome by Rupali who was meeting and greeting visitors. The Cheshire mouldings stand was very interesting. The expert on hand was very knowledgeable and informative about not only his products but the Wickes stock.
Overall the experience was great. I attended a CT1 and tool marking event earlier in the year which was equally good.
Keep up the good work!
